Testing Operator Space Hardware Testing (all genders)

THEWHY

We build pressure vessels and carbon structures for spaceflight. Before our hardware flies it gets tested and you keep the testing running. Without you the test bench stands still.

THE WHAT

You prepare tests help run them and document the results. You work in the lab and at the test bench hands-on in a team with real space hardware every day.

Your tasks in detail:

• Prepare and post-process the testing areas: You set up test benches and specimens tear down after tests and keep the testing area ready for action. High Performance: The test bench is ready when the team needs it.
• Run and document tests: You support destructive testing and acceptance testing (NDT) and record every step cleanly. Accountability: What was tested is documented. No gaps.
• Say what you see: Anything unusual about a specimen the test bench or a result you report it right away not when someone asks. Candor: You raise problems before they grow.
• Support the team and infrastructure: You pitch in where needed in the testing team and with technical infrastructure on site. Togetherness: We win as a team.
• Learn new things: NDT methods new test procedures new materials you want to grow. Well train you. Playfulness: Curiosity is a strength here not a distraction.

• Training: Completed vocational training as a materials tester / Werkstoffprüfer (plastics metals or fiber composites/CFRP) or comparable technical training.
• Experience: First experience in a test lab or materials testing is a plus not a must. What matters more: you want to learn.
• Work style: Motivated reliable hands-on. You want the job done and done right.
• Team player: You enjoy working with others and help out when things get busy.
• Languages: German and English each at B2 minimum one of the two confident for daily work.
• On-site: This role is 100% on-site in Taufkirchen. The lab and test bench dont fit in a home office.
